One OF the biggest real estate sales in

that the shifting now done at the west

year. The mercury got good upward
start early in the morning, rose TO 81 by
noon and Mt o'clock the bubble in the
thermometer had assembled to the 81
notch. ut which altitude it remained until
after S O'Clock. The highest point attained
by the mercury on Saturday was 54', con
seauently within the "a hours the sensitive
mercury had moved up 80 points. The
warm weather coming with such unex'
pected suddenness made it the NOR, OPP

more forcibly the fact that spring had
literally come in with burning bound.
